Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 19th Aug '24
Before you start the cardiovascular exercises, make sure that you do not have any health problems such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. If you do, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist first. However, if you are fine, start off with a slow routine and then slowly build up the intensity.

I am 38 years old male runner and training for marathon,, but on some days while running I lose my energy and feel dizzy and unable to continue, sudden hunger and my strength completely fades for about a quarter of an hour and then I continue. I noticed that my blood pressure drops through examination (80/40) so I did blood tests, ECG, chest x-ray, sinus x-ray and everything is good. What can be the cause, and what should I check next?
Male | 38
These symptoms could be due to factors like dehydration, low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalance, overexertion, or cardiovascular issues not detected by routine tests. You should consult a cardiologist with expertise in athletes to evaluate your training regimen, nutrition, and overall health for personalized guidance

My BP is 129 / 83 after 8 hours medicine n taken ,is it good sign or need to consult doctor?
Male | 37
A blood pressure reading of 129/83 will most likely be within the normal range. On the other hand, talk to a doctor if you have any misgivings with your blood pressure because you have underlying conditions. You consult a cardiologist to have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment for your hypertension.

Hello. I was sitting on the couch on my phone and started feeling a pain and comes and goes on my left arm. After a few minutes I started massaging my shoulder and back and it stopped. 1h after when I was falling asleep it came back and I massaged again and it stopped. Is it something I need to worry about?
Female | 24
Pain on the left arm can be one sign of a heart attack. These signs are more serious if a person has other risk factors, like high blood pressure, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. A cardiologist should be visited for more thorough investigations

I have been experiencing indigestion and gas formation for the last 4-5 days Through this period, along with uneasiness of the stomach area, I also have uneasiness towards the left chest/heart area Just wanted to mention I've totally stopped smoking like a week ago, maybe this is the withdrawal symptom of tightness in chest and gas formation - but wanted to be sure it is no cardiac concern Thanks
Male | 26
It is possible that your symptoms are due to indigestion and gas; however, given the discomfort you feel directed left chest/heart side of cardiac concerns should be ruled out. It is advisable that you go to a cardiologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, stick to foods that reduce indigestion and gas production.

I am 16 year old boy and I face a problem that when I stands my eyes become blury and I feels that blood flows from my head to down
Male | 16
It sounds like you might be experiencing orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure when you stand up. This can cause blurry vision and a feeling of blood rushing from your head. It's important to consult a cardiologist or a general physician to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello, Can I ask if what should I do if my mom's blood pressure didn't go lower than 170/70. She's a dialysis patient. But since last night, her bp is 180/60 or 190/70.
Female | 62
It occurs when pressure builds inside blood vessels. There could be several causes – stress, kidney disease, or not adhering to the dialysis routine. Unchecked, it can lead to heart strain, even damage arteries. You should promptly alert your mom's doctors. They might alter medications or propose lifestyle changes.

Hello, I have been having pain in my right shoulder and in my chest around my heart area, but when I take my prescribed medication for my heart. It doesn't alleviate the pain. I had a massive heart attack back in 2011 and I currently have a defibrillator, so now I take Aspirin, Lisenapril and a couple of other meds, but I notice that I still have pain on my left side which makes it kinda hard to breathe. I work as a dishwasher and I don't do a lot of heavy lifting, so I don't know what it could be. I can barely lift my arm because of it. Please help!
Male | 60
With your past heart attack and defibrillator, it's crucial to inform your cardiolgist promptly about these new symptoms. They'll help identify the cause and suggest suitable treatment.

I am 25 year old female ,recently had a echocardiogram . Report was showing everything normal except one finding - Mild thickened aortic ncc . Does it mean I have aortic sclerosis?
Female | 25
Mild thickening of the aortic valve is not the same as aortic sclerosis. Sometimes, as people get older, their aortic valves can get a little bit thicker. It’s usually not a big deal and doesn’t cause any symptoms. Make sure to keep following up with a cardiologist so they can keep an eye on it.
